Walk stalkly and carry a big beak

Here's another bird picture from the Tampa area. These are huge birds with red crowns.

Anyone getting more than a hint of Emu?

They are Sandhill Cranes.

Is this bird related to the Frasier Crane in anyway? I notice that it's mating ritual is to smear itself with mud, I thought that I was the only one!; June 23, 2009 at 5:21 PM

"Mom, can I have some money to go to the mall?"

"Ask your father!"

Of course, some might consider this the same thing.

Another Kiwi, It is established in Frasier that Frasier Winslow Crane was born in Seattle in March 1952...

AG, it is true that this bird has a much longer beak.
